Middle school students can expect one to two hours of homework on a regular basis.  Students are expected to complete the work on time.  A homework “buddy” is chosen by each family in case of absence.  Students should work out a plan with their buddies to receive the assignments and homework material.  Students who miss school due to a family vacation should let individual teachers know in advance.  Make-up work must be completed according to the time-line of the teachers.  Generally, homework is not given out in advance.  Parents will be notified if students continue to have missing homework.  Teachers may have a student stay after school to complete missing homework.
